3.     Lease Term .  The original Lease Term for the Lease of Equipment under this Schedule consist of:  (i) an " Interim Term " (if any) beginning on the Acceptance Date, and continuing through and including the day preceding the Base Date; and (ii) a " Base Term " of thirty-six ( 36) months, beginning on   March 23, 2017 (the " Base Date ").

 

4.     Rent .    Rent payable under this Schedule consists of:  (i) “Interim Rent”, which shall be due Lessor for each day of the interim Term and shall equal the daily equivalent of the initial Base Rent, and payable on the Base Date; and (ii) “Base Rent”, which shall be payable in arrears in thirty-six (36) consecutive monthly installments of the payment amount and interest (the " Payments ") commencing on April 23, 2017   ( the “Initial Payment” ).  Each Payment shall be in the principal amount of $286,055.69, plus interest as described in the following paragraph, and due and payable on the same day of the month as the Initial Payment set forth above in each succeeding payment period (each, a " Payment Date ") during the Lease Term.  All interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of 12 months of 30 days each .

5.     Tax Exemption; Personal Property Taxes.   Lessor will invoice Lessee for all sales and use taxes as and when due and payable in accordance with applicable law, unless Lessee timely delivers to Lessor a valid exemption certificate with respect to such taxes.  Delivery of such certificate shall constitute Lessee's representation and warranty that no such taxes shall become due and payable with respect to the Equipment, and Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all liability or damages, including late charges and interest which Lessor may incur by reason of the assessment of such taxes.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee shall file directly with all appropriate taxing authorities all declarations, returns, inventories and other documentation with respect to any personal property taxes due or to become due with respect to the Equipment (" Taxes ") and shall pay on or before the date when due all such Taxes assessed, billed or otherwise payable with respect to such Equipment directly to such taxing authorities. Upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of satisfactory documentation and proof of payment of such Taxes, and any penalties and interest thereon, and any other liabilities and damages that Lessor may incur arising out of the failure of Lessee to pay when due such Taxes.  The indemnity and covenants set forth herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

6.     Status of Lease as “Lease Intended as Security.”  Any provision of the Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Lease of Equipment under this Schedule is and is intended to be a transaction which creates a security interest in personal property in favor of Lessor, and shall be construed to constitute a lease intended as security for all commercial law and federal income and state tax purposes.  Lessee and Lessor further acknowledge and agree that:  (i) any right, title or interest of Lessor in and to the Equipment is held for collateral security purposes and that Lessor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article 9 of the UCC and otherwise provided under applicable law;  (ii) Section 7(c) of the Master Lease shall not be applicable to the Lease evidenced by this Schedule;  (iii) Lessee shall be treated for both federal and state income tax purposes as the owner of the Equipment and shall be entitled to take all of the tax benefits (including, without limitation, all depreciation deductions) that may be available with respect to the Equipment;  (iv) upon the payment and performance of all of Lessee’s Obligations under this Schedule, and provided that there then exists no Event of Default, Lessee shall not be obligated to return the Equipment to Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of the Master Lease;  and (v) the last sentence of Section 12(a) of the Master Lease as it relates to the Lease evidenced by this Schedule is deleted and replaced with the following:  “ Any payments received by Lessor after the occurrence of an Event of Default, including proceeds of any disposition of Equipment, shall be applied in the following order: (A) to all costs, and (including Attorneys’ Fees), charges and expenses incurred in taking, removing, holding, repairing and selling or leasing the Equipment or other Collateral or enforcing the provisions hereof ; (B) to the extent not previously paid by Lessee, to pay Lessor for any damages then remaining unpaid hereunder; and (C) the balance, if any, shall be paid to Lessee and/or other parties lawfully entitled thereto.”

8.     End of Lease Term Purchase.  At the end of the Base Term, or within 15 days thereafter, Lessee shall purchase the Equipment on an "AS IS, WHERE IS" quitclaim basis, without representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, for the cash amount of one dollar ($1.00)   (" Purchase Price ").  Lessee shall pay Lessor the Purchase Price on or before the expiration of the Base Term in immediately available funds.
